Struggling a bit
Thanks so much for all of the people who commented, it holds me more accountable to know that others are checking in on me.
The first week is over and I am amazed at how well my husband has done. To my knowledge he hasn’t cheated at all and has been very forthcoming with how difficult it has been for him. I don’t know how much more weight he has lost but I am just so proud that he is still with it. Our big challenge will be tonight when we are going to a friend’s house for dinner. They are grilling pork chops and having potatoes and sweet corn, 2 of his favorites. I called to see if I could bring some low-carb items and of course she said it was fine. Unfortunately, though, he is not wanting others to know that he is dieting so I said the items were just for me. Even if he does have some sweet corn, though, I am not going to say anything to him because the choices have to be his. We talked about it last night and I said that if it is what he really wants to eat to have a few ears and then make sure to get right back on the program when he’s done.
He’s actually doing better than I am. All day yesterday I was so hungry and made good food choices all day long, I just ate a ton. Then last night I opened the fridge and found some chocolate covered peanuts that were there from before we started dieting and I ate them. But to look on the positive side once I ate them I stopped, I didn’t think “Well, I blew it so I might as well eat everything in the house.” I am now back on target and accept the fact (kind of) that I cannot be perfect in this quest and as long as I don’t give up I will get there some day.
Keep the comments coming!!
